Many thanks for a very enjoyable week. The meeting of wood (rather than plastic) and water has much to commend it. It was an excellent introduction to the 'classic' world. I'll keep an eye on your itinerary and hopefully return at some point.

Okay so it's not got quite the same ring to it as Thomas Magnum: Private Eye, or Elizabeth Windsor: Queen of England, but it'll do for me. As promised, I wasted no time getting back aboard the Amelie Rose and here's my report on what it's like to "do" your Competant Crew aboard her...
Our primary Skipper and Director of Topsail Adventures, Nic Beck, has been on quite a journey since they commissioned Amelie Rose back in 2006, and now it’s time for that adventure to take a new turn. Read Nic’s announcement here…
As noted elsewhere, the last two years have been a pretty rough ride for small leisure business’ like Topsail Adventures. A whole season with no income at all and then a brutally curtailed season in 2021 has left our reserves pretty much depleted and yet the bills keep on coming. Find out you can help us this to survive this year so that Amelie Rose will still be here for years to come…
Don’t panic! No actual otters get harmed in the making of this dish – in fact it’s vegan friendly unless you decide to use beef dripping instead of healthy (!) olive or rapeseed oil. What it does include is lots or earthy goodness and mouth-watering flavours whether it’s served as a main, a side-dish or a thick hearty soup.
In the previous article we had a look at parking up when the touchdown zone was a nice long stretch of pontoon, but what about when it’s a wall, piles or even (shudder) a finger berth? As our series on boat handling under engine comes to an end, Skipper Nic looks at a few of the more, esoteric, landings we might be required to perform.
After a bit of a delay our 2022 Schedule is now up and running on the Website and bookings are already coming in so if you’re planning on sailing with us this year it’s time to have a browse and see what adventures await!
What a bizarre 18 months! From the anticipation of preparing the boat for her 12th season to a summer spent hiding under the winter cover fixing deck seams, to the planning (and replanning, and replanning, and replanning) of an ever-shrinking 13th year, to finally getting to sea again but with just one major destination available – Skipper Nic looks back on the 2020’s so far…
There’s much to love about Spaghetti Puttanesca. It’s tasty, it’s incredibly fast to make, it’s easy to turn it vegetarian (or even vegan), and apart from the onion and garlic (both of which store pretty well on board) it’s entirely made from store-cupboard ingredients. We often have this on arrival after a passage because the sauce can be knocked up in advance of landfall and then the whole thing comes together in minutes but still looks and tastes amazing.
The Isles of Scilly are a stunning destination, but getting there, staying there and moving around the islands can be a complicated and expensive business. Skipper Nic makes the case for why a trip to the Islands aboard the Amelie Rose is the best of all the available options and provides you with maximum bang for your buck.
